Getting your miles in on a daily basis takes dedication, and it places a lot of demands on both runner and running shoe. New Balance’s 860 is built to provide the stability-minded every day runner with a shoe for the long haul. The Fresh Foam X 860v12 augments the pinnacle cushioning experience of Fresh Foam with a supportive medial post to provide essential stability. Offering reliable, sustained comfort over all distances, the 860 is a true, go-to running shoe.

These are comfy
Mr doctor said if I wanted my MCL injury to heal, I would have to wear real shoes all the time-no more flip flops or bare feet. Finding shoes that I like and can wear all day has been a challenge. These new balance shoes fit well, they have a wide toe area, good tread and breathable upper. They come in fun colors and I will be purchasing more!!

Great for indoor workouts
I’ve been using these shoes for indoor workouts for about a year. Great for Peloton riding, treadmill running, and general weightlifting. I have specialized squat shoes, but these work too. Great support, comfortable, lightweight, and great value for the money.

Amazingly comfortable!
First, I’ve had horrible feet for a good portion of my life, and it’s always challenging to find comfortable shoes. In 2018 I had surgery to correct a huge bunion and four hammertoes, all on my left foot. Now I’m developing tailors bunions on the opposite foot. I’m a mess. When my old shoes started showing evidence of impending failure I started looking for a new pair. These were mentioned in a few customer reviews as being very comfortable and still offering a good amount of stability, and they definitely check both boxes! From the first moment I put them on I noticed that A: They were VERY comfortable, like “Worn and broken in for a few weeks” comfortable, right out of the box…and B: I noticed a definite increase in the stability around my ankles. Now, I DO have to admit that this particular color scheme does make me look like a tourist when coupled with my cargo pants and white socks but I’m more interested in my feet and their comfort than what my shoes look like to random strangers. On THAT level these shoes score a home run! And, I forgot to mention, these were $139.00 shoes on sale for $67.99. BIG SCORE!!!

Attractive, good arch support, but they run short
After reluctantly supporting my droopy bod during a cross-country move, my feet begged for good support and a cushioned insole. I did not want a sport shoe; however, I decided to give New Balance another chance…...after an extended suspension. I’m glad that I did.Pros:Comfortable more often than not….best if worn with socksAttractive & conservative coloration for a sports shoeRemovable and supportive firm but cushioned insoleLaces that stay tied all dayGood arch supportWell madeWeight is good for standing or a walking day….not ultra light or heavyToes have wiggle-roomLow cut side so ankle and shoe do not collideCons:The shoes run short. Order up ½ size, but consider a whole size up if planning to wear “thickish” socksNot overly comfortable if worn without socks. The seams are nicely finished, but are hard, and can cause pressure discomfort after extended wearThe grooved soles love to pick up tiny rocks and debris

Shoe fits me perfectly - 1 year review. NB 860 vs NB 880 vs Nike Pegasus
It's been a year and my white shoe is grungy but the sole remains shiny. I recommend ordering a shoe with colorful uppers and sole to keep looking shiny. Toe edge fabric is beat up with zero protection which is ok because reinforced toes annoy my toe. I used this shoe for everything from jogging, walking and light mowing. The colored sole hides grass stains. Do not climb the roof because the high sole is bad for balance and the uneven roof surface stretches out the shoe. I got the 860 for foot pain. I also have the 880 but after an hour my feet started hurting in the 880 and the same pain for beautiful Nike Pegasus. For stability 860 is the best shoe I have ever owned and fits me perfectly. I also bought New Bal 860 for my family members for a total of 4 x 860. 6 Stars.

Great Shoe!
I have used New Balance shoes for years! Being in healthcare, and needing something supportive, this brand was recommended to me by our orthopedic surgeons in the day. I have since retired, and started with another name brand, however, there is no lasting support feature and the memory foam breaks down after a while, and is difficult to remove and replace, even though the shoe is in good condition. I am in my 70's and needed something practical. I got 2 pair, at different times, that have roll bar technology. Not easy to find anymore. I have a slip on (NB) pair with removable insoles, which suit my needs well. However, I needed more. Not in numbers of pairs, but the right fit and feel for stability. I had my misgivings, at first, with the fresh foam, but found it to be different from memory foam. These shoes are REALLY fabulous!! And I would buy another in a heartbeat!!

Women’s new balance fresh form shoes
I wear a size 11.5 wide in the 840v3. I figured the size would be the same. No the length is long enough. The toe bed and whole width is tight. My ankle didn’t slip up in my old shoes. They do with these. I bought new shoes for orthotics. And these shoes don’t work. I have been looking for shoes for months. I can’t afford another $130 for new shoes. So I am stuck with these. I need an extra wide in these. My foot isn’t fat one of my feet has a fallen arch. I hope these suckers stretch. I hope the 840v5 will fit because the 840v3 are discontinued

Flat Feet Saviors!
As some one who is severely flat footed, these are hands down one of the best pairs of sneakers I've ever owned! Ready to buy them in every color available. I have used them for HIIT style training as well as resistance training and I am extremely happy with the comfort and support.

Cómodo
Buena calidad de materiales, me diagnosticaron fascitis plantar y pisada de pronador , y en realidad si me ha ayudado en las caminatas que hago por la mañana, se siente firme mi tobillo , no se va hacia adentro y se siente confortable en el talón , lo malo es que opte por el color negro y el diseño y color de la suela se ve medio opaco y como si se aterrara .

Me encantan!
Este es un diseño de hombre, aunque lo pongan de mujer. Es más enfocado para pies angostos de hombre o normales de mujer.Son super cómodos! El color está vello y justo mi talla. Batalló para encontrar zapatos pues soy 11us de mujer y pie angosto pero estos de 28 me quedaron perfectos. Si tienes que amoldarlos un poco pero no mucho tiempo ;)

sehr gute Schuhe
optimal gerade für die die einen sehr breiten Fuß haben. Allerdings sollten Mann eine Größe größer nehmen.

Perfect Everyday Trainer
I have super wide feet and these are a great fit. Cushion is not too bouncy (for runners) with enough rigidity to use in the gym and everything else. Perfect all around trainer from NB.
